Cambridge, MA
Description:
We are seeking highly motivated individuals interested in applying computational
and bioinformatic approaches to drug discovery. The research interest is focused on
developing/applying innovative data analysis capabilities to gain insights into gene
networks involved in proteome homeostasis and protein mis-folding and investigate
their disease relevance. The open position is for a bioinformatics scientist with
extensive experience in analyzing mass-spec proteomics datasets. Other high-
throughput biological datasets such as microarray data, protein-protein interaction
data, RNAi data, will also be explored and integrated. This scientist will be part of a
bioinformatics team working closely with cross-discipline teams including biology,
pharmacology, and medicinal chemistry.
Degree level required
Recent Ph.D. of bioinformatics, computational biology, or computer
science/electrical engineering with exposure of life science. A strong publication
record is essential. Postdoctoral experience and biotech/pharmaceutical industry
experience is a plus.
Competencies (Knowledge and Skills)
- Proficiency in mass-spec proteomics analysis is a must. Broad experience in
large-scale biological -omics data analysis (e.g. microarray expression
datasets, protein interaction datasets) is preferred.
- Working knowledge of pathway and network analysis.
- Knowledge and experience in machine learning and data mining is preferred.
- Proficiency in R, matlab, or equivalent statistical software.
- Good programming skills. Can independently manipulate large datasets.
- Good understanding of data analysis methods and experimental design.
